Nice one, maybe you could think about inactive DT2 members, their ratings should lose weigh over time and fade away.😉

The fact that he turned out to be a scammer doesn't mean the feedback he left in the past, and the Trust list he currently has are suddenly wrong.
To quote myself:

For the record: I don't think scammers should stay on DefaultTrust (even though the rules don't mention it), but there's no rush. He already dropped from DT2 strength (15) to (5).

I already have set him on my Distrust List with the Action and things he have done for stole the Coins.
Also i support the flag to 100% , what a shame that this happend .
Thanks for the reminder and post airfinex.

I'll leave this here so that people can familiarize themselves with the situation. (~yogg)

I always do neutral feedback if I feel a need to leave a rating for a trade that doesn't deserve a "brand of trust".

Neutral trust is the beach umbrella I lug around to contain 80% of the spectrum from negative to positive.

---

More liberal use of positive trust = more positive trust dilution... it'll reach an equilibrium and balance itself out... maybe.

It was bound to happen when theymos adopted the cycling DT system: DefaultTrust isn't what it used to be - the handpicked 'trusted' list by theymos - which is a (good? bad?) thing. There should, however, be a more gentle welcome to the forum than the steep learning cliff with an overhang you have to climb over.

Just another "collectibles section" vs. "The rest sections", like I've mentioned in the past... 🤷‍♂️

I fully trust many users, but again, folks in collectibles don't understand the full implications of adding green trust to people for a deal or two. On one hand, this is how the trust system should be used, but oto, the new way it works is flawed. We should think about making a rule where people like this need 3+ green trusts or something, maybe based on number of prior posts or rank maybe?

PS - Happy holidays y'all !!

I present: the 2 youngest users on DT2:
The first one has 4 posts and earned 3 Merits, the other has 33 posts (most of them like "LOT 2: 0.26BTC") and 0 Merit.
They're both included by the DT1-member they left positive feedback.

And I think the easiest way to check whether you are a DT1 member or not without using BPIP is to check DT voting page.
If you have been listed for voting and your username isn't strikethroughed, you are DT1 member.

You're on DT2 (strength 29).

Theymos only updates DT1.

The easiest way to check if you're on DT, is by checking one of the profiles you tagged with ";dt" behind the URL:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=20786;dt

BPIP is not real time, but doesn't take long to update.

That means that your status hasn't been changed and you are not a DT1 member.

You can check the list of eligible DT1 members on DT update log. Of course, it's possible that a user is eligible for being a DT1 member but isn't a DT member due to being untrusted by other DT1 members.
You can also visit your trust setting page to see the list of all DT1 and DT2 members. (Note that you should add ";dt" to the end of the URL. Otherwise, you will see your own trust network instead of the default trust network.

Am I off DT altogether?  I've neither been added nor deleted, so....

Yeah I've been here for a hot minute, but when it comes to utilizing the finer machinations of the forum I've been full retard from day one--so I knew, but forgot, how to check each member's status without visiting BPIP (and I'm going to do that, but I'm not sure if that data is updated in real time).

This is one example of why it is important to read the content of trust ratings, and review referenced threads. Those who received these trust ratings will have a better trust score, but anyone looking at those scores will see that the positive ratings are questionable and will act accordingly.

I would also point out that someone engaging in many trades in which they send first is likely to be a safe trading partner, even if sending first in a small number of trades doesn’t indicate the same.

THIS ^^^ is Exactly why I sent Theymos a PGP signed message asking to be blacklisted from DT-1 altogether  - I was getting the same kinds of BS, and didn't have time to make everyone happy - PLus, I felt like I was taking up a DT1 slot that could be better utilized by someone who does more scam-busting instead...

BPIP only constantly updates DT1 changes afaik, so I don't get any of that bs anymore, people leave me alone, I haven't gotten one PM about my list ever since!

nope doesnt bug me at all!

simply used it as an example

my point is everyone should be able to use their list as they see fit. I personally dont use it at all because everytime I add or remove someone, it creates a tidal wave of contacts/posts/dms from people whom I have never dealt with complaining about what I screwed up by adding/removing someone.

@Mopar - Like I said, I distrust users so I don't see their ratings as "Trusted". I still see untrusted feedback, so I know what the hell is going on... Yes, this is MY way of using my list, I'm sorry if it bugs you or something, personally I don't give any F's about anyone else's trust list, so feel free to distrust me back, it's all cool brother!

I don't leave trust anymore unless I PERSONALLY took a large risk on buying without escrow or a large dollar amount thing(s)... Sometimes I don't even bother because I don't think it's anyone else's business what I buy or sell here between parties I personally know and talk to frequently.  

Again, it's nothing personal, and you are correct- I should have added this to my prior post -

NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO OR TRY, PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS USE THEIR LISTS AND FEEDBACKS IN THE MANNER THEY THINK IS CORRECT.

One adjustment I can think of - (maybe 3 lol) - Ratings - Have a buy/sell/trade option that's mandatory to tick off - or if it's just "General Feedback" too maybe?

IDK - I've been thinking of many ways to solve this, but I can't come up with anything - Maybe a separate list/trusts for collectibles folks?

Big thanks to LoyceV for all his work on everything btw, can't thank you enough for all you have done for the forum!

That is how it works. However, instead of just being excluded, I much prefer to see users improve their Trust list, and be active participants in the Trust system.

I'd say it should be based on what someone did, it doesn't have to be retaliation.

Two of those are not on DT, so they don't really matter. Many users (including me) have worse feedback from non-DT users.
The only DT-feedback you have, from Vod, doesn't seem like correct use of the Trust system to me.

oh I read it

but not just directed at you - its the over all theme of this thread. I dont see one person who uses the trust system the way they claim it should be used. 99% of everyone's trust list is done in retaliation for what someone else did.

I once did over 10k in deals with a person, added him to my trust list and had no less than a dozen messages about how I "needed to correct my trust list".

Ever since then, I leave mine blank.  I leave feedback only for those I have done transactions with (and always at least 3 to 4 transactions before I leave any feedback) yet people here still add me to their "distrust" list.

Owlcatz just did 3 or 4 weeks ago - really he has put me on the distrust list/removed me/added me back  -- simply because - well I dont know why to be honest. But that is his choice.

People sit here and literally whine/cry/complain all day long about who does what with their trust list. It is all shit anyways.

Look at my 3 negatives for example -

1. Vod, called me a pedophile lover, a rapist then a scammer and a shitty escrow - we have never had any dealings.

2. todamont, says I am part of some titan coin conspiracy to harrass and steal from victims of some titan theft (when he was proven to have built peeled coins, could not remember where he got the coin he claims titan scammed him on (he never bought it from titan) yet swears the coin is not the peeled one he bought etc etc etc - he sat accusing multiple forum members of either being Tim (from Titan) or aiding Tim without proof.

3. game protect, need I say more?


In the end, everyone needs to do their own research - regardless of trust rating and/or feedback - before dealing with anyone on here.
